Ati Rn Paediatrics 2023 Proctored Exam
A nurse is performing an assessment for a 5-year-old child who has celiac disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Sausage-shaped mass in the upper right abdomen A sausage-shaped mass in the upper right abdomen is indicative of intussusception, not celiac disease.B. Red-currant, jelly-like stools: Red-currant, jelly-like stools are characteristic of intussusception, not celiac disease.C. Hematemesis: Hematemesis (vomiting blood) is not a typical symptom of celiac disease. It is more commonly associated with conditions involving gastrointestinal bleeding such as esophageal varices or severe gastritis.D. Steatorrhea: Steatorrhea (fatty stools) is a common finding in celiac disease due to malabsorption of fats in the intestine. The inability to digest and absorb fat leads to pale, foul-smelling, and bulky stools.
